[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Why should I stoop so low as self-promotion, Bêthberry, when my fame was for some time trumpeted from your signature for all to see? I could, I suppose have made myself the answer and referred to that quoted conversation, but I think I've already appeared in this thread.

You know, for some time I've been wondering who'd get this one. Obviously at the back of my mind I'd been thinking that perhaps Saucepan would come in and casually drop in the right answer. I'd even gone so far as to ask myself whether this would usher in a new age of cryptic domination on this thread. Now, at long last, I have my answer.

That answer is, of course, 'no'.

This has nothing to do either with the Greenleaf clan or with Philip Pullman's Oxonian guttersnipe. That was a nice bit of forum archaeology, though, JennyHallu.
